2 Outline What is behind Support Vector Machines? Constrained Optimization Lagrange Duality Support Vector Machines in Detail Kernel Trick LibSVM demo 2

3 Binary Classification Problem Given: Training data generated according to the distribution D x 1, y 1,, x p, y p R n { 1,1} input label input space label space Problem: Find a classifier (a function) h x : R n { 1,1} such that it generalizes well on the test set obtained from the same distribution D Solution: Linear Approach: linear classifiers (e.g. Perceptron) Non Linear Approach: non-linear classifiers (e.g. Neural Networks, SVM) 3

4 Linearly Separable Data Assume that the training data is linearly separable x 2 x 1 4

5 Linearly Separable Data Assume that the training data is linearly separable x 2 w. x b=0 abscissa on axis parallel to w abscissa of origin 0 is b w x 1 Then the classifier is: h x = w. x b Inference: sign h x { 1,1} where w R n,b R 5

6 Linearly Separable Data x 2 Assume that the training data is linearly separable w. x b=0 w. x b=0 = 1 w Margin w = 1 w Maximize margin ρ (or 2ρ) so that: x 1 For the closest points: w. x b= 1 h x = w. x b { 1,1} w. x b=1 2 = 2 w 6

7 Optimization Problem A Constrained Optimization Problem min w 1 2 w 2 s.t.: y i w. x i b 1, i=1,, m label input Equivalent to maximizing the margin A convex optimization problem: Objective is convex Constraints are affine hence convex = 1 w 7

8 Optimization Problem Compare: min w 1 2 w 2 objective s.t.: y i w. x i b 1, i=1,, m constraints With: min w p i=1 y i w. x i b 2 w 2 energy/errors regularization 8

9 Optimization: Some Theory The problem: min f 0 x x s.t.: f i x 0, h i x =0, i=1,, m i=1,, p objective function inequality constraints equality constraints Solution of problem: x o Global (unique) optimum if the problem is convex Local optimum if the problem is not convex 9

10 Optimization: Some Theory Example: Standard Linear Program (LP) min c T x x s.t.: Ax=b x 0 Example: Least Squares Solution of Linear Equations (with L 2 norm regularization of the solution x) i.e. Ridge Regression min x T x x s.t.: Ax=b 10

11 Big Picture Constrained / unconstrained optimization Hierarchy of objective function: smooth = infinitely derivable convex = has a global optimum f 0 convex non-convex smooth non-smooth smooth non-smooth SVM NN 11

12 Toy Example: Equality Constraint Example 1: min x 1 x 2 f s.t.: x 2 1 x 2 2 2=0 h 1 x 2 h 1 h 1 f f = f x 1 f x 2 f 1, 1 f h 1 x 1 h 1 = h 1 x 1 h 1 x 2 At Optimal Solution: f x o = 1 o h 1 x o 12

13 Toy Example: Equality Constraint x is not an optimal solution, if there exists such that h 1 x s = 0 f x s f x Using first order Taylor's expansion s 0 h 1 x s = h 1 x h 1 x T s = h 1 x T s = 0 f x s f x = f x T s Such an when s h 1 x are not parallel can exist only and f x h 1 x s f x 13

14 Toy Example: Equality Constraint Thus we have f x o = 1 o h 1 x o The Lagrangian L x, 1 = f x 1 h 1 x Lagrange multiplier or dual variable for h 1 Thus at the solution x L x o, 1 o = f x o 1 o h 1 x o = 0 This is just a necessary (not a sufficient) condition x solution implies h 1 x f x 14

15 Toy Example: Inequality Constraint Example 2: min x 1 x 2 f s.t.: 2 x 2 1 x c 1 x 2 c 1 c 1 f = f x 1 f x 2 f c 1 1, 1 f f x 1 c 1 = c 1 x 1 c 1 x 2 15

16 Toy Example: Inequality Constraint x is not an optimal solution, if there exists such that c 1 x s 0 f x s f x Using first order Taylor's expansion s 0 f c 1 s x 2 x 1 c 1 x s = c 1 x c 1 x T s 0 1 s f f x s f x = f x T s 0 2 1, 1 16

17 Toy Example: Inequality Constraint Case 1: Inactive constraint Any sufficiently small s as long as f 1 x 0 c 1 x 0 f Thus s = f x where 0 s c 1 x 1 Case 2: Active constraint c 1 x = 0 c 1 x T s 0 1 f x T s 0 2 1, 1 s f f x = 1 c 1 x, where 1 0 s f x 17 c 1 x

18 Toy Example: Inequality Constraint Thus we have the Lagrangian (as before) L x, 1 = f x 1 c 1 x Lagrange multiplier or dual variable for c 1 The optimality conditions and x L x o, 1 o = f x o 1 o c 1 x o = 0 for some o c 1 x o = 0 Complementarity condition either c 1 x o = 0 or 1 o = 0 (active) (inactive) 18

19 Same Concepts in a More General Setting 19

20 Lagrange Function The Problem min x f 0 x s.t.: f i x 0, h i x =0, i=1,, m i=1,, p objective function m inequality constraints p equality constraints Standard tool for constrained optimization: the Lagrange Function m L x,, = f 0 x i=1 p i f i x i=1 i h i x dual variables or Lagrange multipliers 20

21 Lagrange Dual Function, Defined, for as the minimum value of the Lagrange function over x m inequality constraints p equality constraints g : R m R p R g, =inf x D L x,, =inf x D f 0 x m i=1 p 1 f i x i=1 i h i x 21

22 Lagrange Dual Function Interpretation of Lagrange dual function: Writing the original problem as unconstrained problem but with hard indicators (penalties) minimize x where m f 0 x i=1 satisfied p I 0 f i x i=1 unsatisfied I 1 h i x I 0 u ={ 0 u 0 I u 0} 1 u ={ 0 u=0 u 0} satisfied unsatisfied indicator functions 22

23 Lagrange Dual Function Interpretation of Lagrange dual function: The Lagrange multipliers in Lagrange dual function can be seen as softer version of indicator (penalty) functions. minimize x m f 0 x i=1 p I 0 f i x i=1 I 1 h i x inf x D m f 0 x i=1 p i f i x i=1 i h i x 23

24 Lagrange Dual Function Lagrange dual function gives a lower bound on optimal value of the problem: g, p o Proof: Let x be a feasible optimal point and let 0. Then we have: f i x 0 i=1,, m h i x = 0 i=1,, p 24

25 Lagrange Dual Function Lagrange dual function gives a lower bound on optimal value of the problem: g, p o Proof: Let x be a feasible optimal point and let 0. Then we have: f i x 0 i=1,,m h i x = 0 i=1,, p Thus m L x,, = f 0 x i=1 p i f i x i=1 i h i x f 0 x 25

26 Lagrange Dual Function Lagrange dual function gives a lower bound on optimal value of the problem: g, p o Proof: Let x be a feasible optimal point and let 0. Then we have: f i x 0 i=1,,m h i x = 0 i=1,, p Thus. 0 m L x,, = f 0 x i=1 p i f i x i=1 i h i x f 0 x 26

27 Lagrange Dual Function Lagrange dual function gives a lower bound on optimal value of the problem: x g, = inf x D g, p o 0 Proof: Let be a feasible optimal point and let. Then we have: Thus Hence f i x 0 h i x = 0 m L x,, = f 0 x i=1 i=1,,m i=1,, p. 0 i f i x i=1 L x,, L x,, f 0 x p i h i x f 0 x 27

28 Sufficient Condition If x o, o, o is a saddle point, i.e. if x R n, 0, L x o,, L x o, o, o L x, o, o L x,,, o, o... then x o, o, o is a solution of p o x o x 28

29 Lagrange Dual Problem Lagrange dual function gives a lower bound on the optimal value of the problem. We seek the best lower bound to minimize the objective: maximize s.t.: 0 g, The dual optimal value and solution: d o = g o, o The Lagrange dual problem is convex even if the original problem is not. 29

30 Primal / Dual Problems Primal problem: min x D p o f 0 x s.t.: f i x 0, h i x =0, i=1,, m i=1,, p Dual problem: d o max, s.t.: g, g, =inf x D 0 m f 0 x i=1 p 1 f i x i=1 i h i x 30

31 Weak Duality Weak duality theorem: d o p o Optimal duality gap: p o d o 0 This bound is sometimes used to get an estimate on the optimal value of the original problem that is difficult to solve. 31

32 Strong Duality Strong Duality: d o = p o Strong duality does not hold in general. Slater's Condition: If x D f i x 0 h i x = 0 and it is strictly feasible: for i=1, m for i=1, p Strong Duality theorem: if Slater's condition holds and the problem is convex, then strong duality is attained: o, o with d o =g o, o =max, g, =inf x L x, o, o = p o 32

33 Optimality Conditions: First Order Complementary slackness: if strong duality holds, then at optimality x o, o, o i o f i x o = 0 i=1, m Proof: f 0 x o = g o, o = inf x m f 0 x i=1 m f 0 x o i=1 f 0 x o (strong duality) p o i f i x i=1 p o i f i x o i=1 i o h i x i o h i x o i, f i x 0, i 0 i, h i x = 0 33

34 Optimality Conditions: First Order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions If the strong duality holds, then at optimality: f i x o 0, h i x o = 0, i o 0, i o f i x o = 0, m f 0 x o i=1 i=1,,m i=1,, p i=1,,m i=1,, m p o i f i x o i=1 i o h i x o = 0 KKT conditions are necessary in general (local optimum) necessary and sufficient in case of convex problems (global optimum) 34
